in the cache-off speed trials run by webpolygraph for loadbalanced squids,
one of the requirements is that the servers (realservers in LVS-speak)
cannot be modified (no arp patches etc) and they all must be running
the public IP (VIP in LVS-speak). The loadbalancing box in front
of these servers is then tested in the trials and the servers
reply directly to the client (called "direct server return" in
webpolygraph-speak).
An LVS director does not fit easily into this test situation.
Anyone know how these commercial load balancers work?
